Guided tours Naples

It is certainly one of the highest places in the ancient period in Campania. Founded in the th century BC by the Greeks, Pozzuoli will play a great role in its strategic access to the sea. Its port is then an important commercial crossroads with Sicily, Africa and the East. From the first century, under the impetus of the emperors Nero and Vespasiano, the city has a magnificent amphitheatre (69-79). J), public thermal baths, fountains, temples, stage and markets.

Located west of Naples, this vast volcanic area has several cities of importance such as Pozzuoli (Pozzuoli). See also the Solfatara volcano whose seismic vibrations and fumaroles testify to the activity. The crater consists of clay and silica.

From the majestic piazza del Del, the great symbols of Naples follow: the Basilica of San Francesco di Paolo; the palace Salerno, erected at the end of the th century; and naturally facing arcade in the chamber of the basilica, the royal palace. Turning its gaze towards the city, one distinguishes Piazza Trieste e Trento, via Toledo and the Umberto I gallery whose iron and glass structure fits into the usual pattern of galleries at the end of the th century. In the opposite direction, towards the sea, you fall on the very chic via Santa Lucia. Finally, along the seaside and unveiling the magnificent panorama of the Gulf, Via Caracciolo is still one of the favorite promenades of the Neapolitan.

Via Posillipo aligns its beautiful villas and gardens. At the end of this long artery, which runs along the sea to the southwest of Naples, we reach the village of Marechiaro - picturesque fishing village - and the small nearby island, Nisida (ancient volcanic crater).

The first Greek colony of Mainland Italy, Cuma was founded in the th century BC by the settlers of Chalcide (on the island of Evia), already in Ischia some years previously. It is also Cuma that will leave the founders of Neapolis (Naples). Taken by the Romans in 334 BC, remains of the high city remain like the Acropolis. Cuma is also known to host one of the high places of the ancient world: .' s Lair.

Holiday resort especially appreciated during the Roman period. See the ruins of the temple of Diane, Mercure and Minerve and the castle of Baia, built in the second half of the th century on order of the house of Aragon.
